10 Strangest Lifeforms in No Man's Sky | Living Frigates and Multi-tools? 

One lifeform(idk if it's alive) you missed is the corruption you find on abandoned space stations and abandoned terminals

I once landed on a planet, where every animal and plant was just this weird round ball just standing, or rolling arround. There were tons of ruins on it and I was able to get a ton of loot. Problem was the planet was heavily guarded, so even being seen by guards would make them attack you.

The definition of "life" is fuzzy in our universe too.

Thinking of an ethereal consciousness just floating and being ancient is both calming and existential crisis inducing at the same time. A lot of thought has been put into the concepts in this game and I love it. Great video as always!

I just came across a “Planet of Light”. There’s rocks but all the flora are beams of light that shoot up. Quite interesting. Another one I’ve been to was a “Mechanical Planet” and all the flora and fauna were like engine parts. I adopted a pet which is literally just like a ball of energy that floats around. Such an interesting concept.

One of the first creatures I encountered while building my initial base was an aggressive glowing tentacle-ball that killed me in like 3 hits while my multi-tool uselessly chipped away at it. Learned that every organism was a potential threat (except the lumpy jumping mushroom-looking dudes)

Someday, I wish we could start scooping up travelers from their graves to throw into the system with Artemis

I keep seeing giant jellyfish cruising around galaxies, they look neat.

"In an universe with infinite possibilities, anything you could imagine (and a lot of things you'd rather not), grows somewhere."

If I remember correctly the scientific definition if "life" is that it has to require nutrients, be able to grow, and maybe reproduce? But it's actually quite separate from the definition if conscious or sentient, those criteria actually only require an entity be able to perceive, understand, and react to things.

Always had the idea in my head that alien multitools were infected. This strange goop does build up on machinery and can be refined into living slime and the like, not to mention the monstrosities have all their crap plastered over abandoned buildings. What if this stuff came in contact with an abandoned multitool and with time proceeds to infect and even change the tool?

In honorable mentions you forgot to mention all the horrific creatures, you know the ones that have Horror in their name such as the green jellyfish horror, the creatures that come out of the spawning sacks and the horrors that come out of eggs on planets... oh and just because the game says they don't have souls that doesn't mean they don't have Consciousness because it's obvious they definitely do. Btw loved the video Eh 🖖👽

I’d say the Titan worms are definitely a strange form of life in NMS if they are even alive at all, if the Vykeen cult around them is true, it’s capable of completely rewriting the genetic code of organisms and turning them into one of itself

Finally! Expeditions finally came to switch! Happy days! Been playing this since Friday last week and it's been a blast to just explore other people's bases and complete the quests (hate the egg quests though)

Should've included the rocks that run away when you mine them :P

Dude I love your stuff. I’m really new to the game and I have learned so much about the lore from your videos. Thank you so much. Your creativity is very inspiring.

Cutest one i can across was a small dog beast with a fly head, explored 168 systems an only came across it once.

I love your videos as much as I hate hazardous floras 😉 Really, this is one of the nicest video you have made. Thank you 😊

I love this game for things like this. Just weird random stuff to find

This is strangest plant life cannot wait for the video

Im prerty sure i have megalophobia, because seeing the Asteroid Larvae is making my fight or flight kick in, and its hard to even look at them

Another outstanding video. Thanks.

Been playing for about a week now and I'm addicted! Happy to have found your videos, I can't really get into the other NMS guys. My only regret is not picking it up at launch.

Your videos are SO AWESOME!!!

The gaseous form kinda makes me think the korvax convergence or something like it is responsible and that is their way of travel. Astral travel but as a hivemind... or even worse, Korvax souls wandering aimlessly without shells?

It's also interesting how other species can Become a Traveller, like Iteration: Mercury, who I believe says he was Vykeen?

i think that no mans sky is amazing. great video.

Here's a goofy idea for a video: showcasing all the different types of new exotic asteroids xD

Kanaju, I love your content. I know you love NMS lore and I have a few pieces of lore if youd like to look at them.

I've always been so into the weirdness of what NMS has as far as living creatures. 🤘👽 [Edit]-- I had never considered that information about nanite clusters. Didn't even realize they had legs. Lol Always dig your content, brother!

So strange :)))))

The weirdest species I found what on a collumed planet and it was shifting rocks

When I finally got my living ship I was happy, but then I felt grossed out by the idea of being inside a living being. Especially while flying in 1st person. Havent used it since.

The ones on/in the ground are my favorite

i once found a life form that was literally a living, thinking, bleeding bubble

I always found it so odd that we trade things in nanites and that the Korvax aren't creeped out by it. We're trading in Korvax blood, in a way. This leads me to several theories: 1. The darkest but less probable one is that the currency was instated while the First Spawn had inslaved the Korvax, and it is a remnant of that past 2. Or maybe the Korvax just don't take it personally. We donate blood after all. We can live without it. I wouldn't be creeped out if I saw blood pouches at a hospital. Maybe also their science-based culture influences that too 3. The nanites exist independently from the Korvax, and they just happen to have integrated them into their bodies the way we have integrated bactria into our digestive system and now can't live without them In general, I have a lot of questions about the Korvax. Beyond how they are able to even for a Convergence in the first place, how does one end up being part machine on a species level? It's not like they're cyborgs - or are they? Maybe they are born without machineparts but immediately put into a casing and they grow and developin a way that takes that into account...? I would love to know more about how the different species in NMS evolved and what their life cycles are like. The three mainalien species don't look particularly sexually dymorphic, at least not that I've been able to tell - so do they just not combine genetic material like we do? So many questions... 3.

I just realized no man sky might be a horror game with all this creepy stuff

I mean Ive found a sentient rock in NMS. Id say the sky is the limit after that! Lol

As for plants it IS different than carnivorous plants. I mean, we have carnivorous plants on Earth, everyone's seen a plant like Venus Flytrap, Drosera, or a Pitcher Plant, either IRL or on the internet. There's a high chance some of you own or owned a Flytrap at some point, cause they're just awesome. And there's no indication of them being capable of having sentient thoughts as they lack neural network necessary to achieve it. So the fact that the sentient plants are described as sentient is key here, their general shape is also different from other plants as they're always rather spherical and lumpy, having enough 3d space inside them to be able to form some sort of plant based neural network. They also behave differently from other plants, and react in a way indicating sentience, as carnivorous plants generally don't react to their environment in a way that indicates any sentient thought, it's all just reaction based on some mechanical receptors. Carnivorous plants IRL and their counterparts in NMS react via proximity switches, such as a few sticking out spikes in case of Venus Traps that cover the inside of their trap parts, which trigger them to close when something touches it. Sentient plants on the other hand are capable of movement and will generally run from a player once they got damaged. There are also plants IRL that react to being touched or damaged, but they never move, they will always act via same mechanisms as carnivorous plants and for example close all of their leaves for better protection, but they never move. And even the plants that do move, such as Tumbleweed, they will just roll with the wind and gravity, but the sentient plants here move away from the player. That means they know where the danger comes from and can move accordingly to it. It might indicate sentience or it can also indicate that these plants have some receptors that allow them to see something that's not directly touching them via distance, so either sight or vibrations detectiors like some insects have on their antenae.

If you finished an expedition and claimed all rewards on that expedition, is it safe to remove that save? Or are there factors to take into account? The save is already reverted to a normal save as considered expedition complete, but is deleting it while the expedition event is still ongoing a bad idea? tnx

Plz make a video about sentinal and abise

Hey Kanaju... You forgot about 2-Eyed Geks. Those things are Freaks!

I like the Gaseous lifeforms.

The gaseous conscience knows that the universe is made for the traveller which is why it says "through you", I think.

Nanite Clusters remind me of the Replicators of Stargate SG1.

4:05 Wait a second, if living multi-tools are indeed alive, and refilling them with ammo constitutes feeding them, furthermore since the ammo itself is not coming out of the same hole it went into, does this mean that when you discharge your weapon they're actually projectile pooping??? 😂

Ooh I’ve found most of these

Asteroid larvae is literally abyssal horror isn't it?

What we need in No Mans Sky is: -Portal Gun -More items -New Construction

I love your voice!!!!!

I found a white glowing ball His name is Daminy 😃

Cant believe we haven't met yet. Dig you stuff, keep it up!

Astroid larvae look like big abyssal horrors

Great video as always Kanaju! Beautiful thumbnail as well. I appreciate the fact that you don’t want to spoil things for your audience, but some of us want to know those spoilers! For instance, I would love to learn more about the anomalies (appearance and all) as well as the other travelers. I would also love to see a video (spoilers and all) where you discuss the lore of the Atlas and the universe in general. But I do understand the difficulty and large workload that would accompany such a video.

and now theres the Autophages and corrupter sentinels

Wait, nanites are alive?^^

😎👍

What do you mean what anomaly looks like under the helmet

12:01 that's a thing that gets revealed?

I looked at some eggs once and they exploded into some kinda crab demon

The sentinels are alive!?

I found a weird humanoid yesterday

For something to be considered alive It needs to have a metabolism, that's it

What about the sun group of travelers called the anomaly’s and are the atlases attempt at making it’s creator.

nanites look like hexbugs

The asteroid larvea can be killed, when their eye is open you can hit them easily

Do the Korvax count? Are they just an AI?

how to i obtain living frigates and ships?

Please help Two! Two things I'm curious about in no mans sky 1) Are humans totally extinct w the smarter races? 2) how many intelligent races r there exactly is it 4? Vax, gek, vyk n sentinels? Or more. Coz in space station there are cat lyk races n other races which not gek or vyk even or r the cat race a sub species of vyk? There also races that don't have heads

Orbs of confusion.

Sentient gasses secretly teaching Zen Buddhism

Oops I shot the gaseous things. Didn't know they were sentient I just blew them up

I went looking but i don't see anyone calling it out so i guess i will. Leviathans aren't the living frigates. If you actually own a leviathan when you first encounter a living frigate it will actually give you an option to ask about the leviathans to which they will just flat out tell you that they aren't the same. Nope trying to ruin the video, i genuinely enjoyed it. Just trying to also make sure what you say is true. (Or maybe I'm wrong, Who knows!)

the E is larvae is silant just saying

Who else at least has a void egg?

I only find it annoying that all travelers have the same body but have widely different heads. It would be more interesting and believable if they had the same variety of body types rather than just “human” shape.

You forgot the child

Hey how rare is a planet with bubbles, pink tress and orange sea with mountains for gorgeous views?

Speaking of multi tools, I have made one which does over 100,000 damage.

Why is this twink so cute

"Conventional definitions of life are fuzzy when it comes to the NMS universe" ... well, it's fuzzy everywhere. It's through religion that we've manufactured this conceited "dominance" over intelligence and/or life. It's this "fuzziness" that makes defining Emergence in science so difficult. Intelligence is a spectrum, not a true-false scenario. I actually think that NMS embracing this was extremely smart as it also allows for far more creative creatures than the biblical "us and them" dichotomy.
